Antelopes seek to dim Stars



South Sudan makes its debut in Cecafa Tusker Challenge Cup on Saturday when they face off with Afcon finalists Ethiopia on Saturday.

They are up against an Ethiopian side that will be missing its star players for the tournament.

The two have been grouped alongisde Kenya and Uganda in a tough group.

“It's the same as taking your soldiers to war without food. How do you expect them to fight? With love or by spirit?,” said Sudan coach Zoran Dorjdevic
